The main focus here was to remove the majority of code that relied on Mono's embedding APIs, specially the reflection APIs. The embedding APIs we still use are the bare minimum we need for things to work. A lot of code was moved to C#. We no longer deal with any managed objects (`MonoObject*`, and such) in native code, and all marshaling is done in C#. The reason for restructuring the code and move away from embedding APIs is that once we move to .NET Core, we will be limited by the much more minimal .NET hosting. PERFORMANCE REGRESSIONS ----------------------- Some parts of the code were written with little to no concern about performance. This includes code that calls into script methods and accesses script fields, properties and events. The reason for this is that all of that will be moved to source generators, so any work prior to that would be a waste of time. DISABLED FEATURES ----------------- Some code was removed as it no longer makes sense (or won't make sense in the future). Other parts were commented out with `#if 0`s and TODO warnings because it doesn't make much sense to work on them yet as those parts will change heavily when we switch to .NET Core but also when we start introducing source generators. As such, the following features were disabled temporarily: - Assembly-reloading (will be done with ALCs in .NET Core). - Properties/fields exports and script method listing (will be handled by source generators in the future). - Exception logging in the editor and stack info for errors. - Exporting games. - Building of C# projects. We no longer copy the Godot API assemblies to the project directory, so MSBuild won't be able to find them. The idea is to turn them into NuGet packages in the future, which could also be obtained from local NuGet sources during development. |

Godot Engine
2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms (HTML5) and consoles.
Free, open source and community-driven
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported by the Software Freedom Conservancy not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project) for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
Getting the engine
Binary downloads
Official binaries for the Godot editor and the export templates can be found on the homepage.
Compiling from source
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
Community and contributing
Godot is not only an engine but an ever-growing community of users and engine developers. The main community channels are listed on the homepage.
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to join the Godot Contributors Chat.
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing guide.
Documentation and demos
The official documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs. It is maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
The class reference is also accessible from the Godot editor.
We also maintain official demos in their own GitHub repository as well as a list of awesome Godot community resources.
There are also a number of other learning resources provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc. Consult the community channels for more information.
